[@PogromcaMatolow]

Manythx for video-very helpfull

[@charlies916]

Hey, I'm also charging mine too. My question is, how did you loosen the bolts from the pulley/Wheel without making the whole belt spin. Tryed the otherday but with the wrong tools, but they were screwed on pretty hard. Any tips would help. Thanks!

[@jamieholmes3299]

Hi, very helpful video. Can you recommend any particular/brand of water pump for this job.

[@MAH-tu1xz]

Go for Airtex water pump 👍

Thanks for the video, seems really clear! Do you have any tips for then the coolant doesn't want to drain from the petcock? There is enough in the system and I have opened the reservoir but it just doesn't want to come out.

[@buggs9950]

The drain pipe could be blocked. The petcock will come right out leaving a bigger hole. It has a couple of little 'sprags' on it holding it in, just make sure it's fully unscrewed and then pull. Watch the little O rings when you put it back in.

hello Aaron you seem to know a bit about waterpumps and astras haha, i have had very bad luck this weekend, i have a astra 1.4 very similar engine and setup to yours, the car was on motorway and just randomly when driving it just fully died on me with no warnings, no overheating message or anything and smoke starting pouring out the bonnet and black smoke came out the exhaust a lot of it, i got to hard shoulder and opened bonnet and smoke was coming from everywhere the intake, the engine, just about everywhere, i check the coolant tank and it was completely bone dry empty even though i regularly check everything and it had almost a full tank , and after getting towed and leaving on my road, i come back to car day after and the car cranks but wont start, i also filled in some water where the coolant goes to see where all the coolant went and it was slow dripping from middle bottom of the engine, the engine oil wasn't milky looks fine, the water i think was coming out the waterpump pipe my question is, is my engine been destroyed or could it just be i need to replace water pump and it will fix the engine, is there any test i can do to see the condition of the engine, what im thinking is maybe from overheating the car engine might have broken but i don't know how to check this without the help of a mechanic

[@aaronhenderson836]

It's best to do a compression test first as this will tell you the condition of the engine, you can get these on eBay pretty cheap and then go from there. This video shows how to do one on an Astra kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKWtg35uosSLetk

@@aaronhenderson836 thank you boss apprieciate it

[@MAH-tu1xz]

@@MrWaheedulHaque what are you doing on a motorway with a 1.4L astra on the motorway in the first place! It sounds like you have overheated your engine as there was no water or coolant in the engine and therefore the internals have most likely damaged as a result. Sorry to hear this.

That engine needs a new set of camshaft pulleys fitting to it. And a new timing belt. That rattle is coming from that. I noticed it at the end when your engine was running. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXqoc3eco5mHeMk
